Well, today really got me thinking about happiness. Do you think we're really truly happy? That something will keep us from being completely happy? and.. Can we really spread happiness if we ourselves are not truly happy?
I think that we might think that we're happy, but there's something in the back of our minds that'll come up and bug us. I also think that we can spread happiness, even if we're not happy. What do you guys think about it? |

thats like trying to make a perfect utopia.
utopia is basically an "ideal perfect society." You ever watched/read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? You remember the girl who wants everything? She wants to be very happy by wanting everything, and she kept begging her dad to buy like "everything." It's like being eternally happy but also being greedy. It's basically impossible to be "truly happy". Think of the requirements of COMPLETE happiness. One of the requirements is having everything you want. That's impossible, because you end up wanting more and stuff gets extremely expensive, having a hard time getting what you want, making you not happy. Be optimistic and find all the good things in sadness. There is basically no such thing as complete happiness. |
